Listing Notes

Welcome to this charming two-family home on one of the most beautiful and desirable blocks in Manhattan Beach. Situated just two blocks from the beach and mere footsteps away from the Sheepshead Bay Canal, this home is a foundation for luxury living in its own private oasis, with all of the conveniences of shopping, transportation, and recreation just outside. The two-family, three-bedroom over two-bedroom construction makes the home ideal for a mother-daughter, an additional tenant for income, or a single-family conversion. Spacious front and backyards feature beautiful landscaping and greenery, while the private driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles. The home sitting on an oversized 40x108 lot is a rare opportunity to make this the place of your dreams.
